Help! Ideas needed lost

6 years ago




I recently purchased these two accent chairs and so far I like the way the left wall looks however I am lost for ideas on the right side and on the right side of the wall where the plant is any suggestions ? Also don’t mind the piece of furniture in front of the TV I’m going to be returning that.

    It’s a very neutral, no harm room. You don’t need more little things. You need art and lighting. Are you pleased with the fabrics and the rug coloring so far? I love the marble top table. Use it as end table if you get something bigger for the chair/window arrangement.

    IMO before I did anything else, I would move the furniture so the TV was easier to view. Move it to between the windows with the sofa and chairs opposite and take another photo of the room. That arrangement is more conducive to living.

    I would move the TV to the window wall. Place it on a low and shallow cabinet. That would allow for a couple of different chair arrangements. What is the wall we can't see?


    edit to add: I think you've made a lot of really lovely choices so far.

    Ok I will move when I get home and The wall you can’t see is the bacolor part of a small foyer. I’ll take a picture as well.

    Not a fan of this setup either. I didn’t want to move the TV stand unless I knew I was going to keep it there I have lots of cords in the back.

    What do you guys think about this light fixture? I have low ceilings.

  • 6 years ago

    You need a coffee table and art on the walls.

    Can you move the sofa so that it faces the tv? the Back will define the entryway.

    What do you guys think of the wall decor I added

  • 6 years ago

    If you like this layout best, can you angle the chairs more? It seems like only 1-2 people can comfortably view the TV from the sofa and no one from the chairs. Maybe a small footstool or perhaps a ottoman-style coffee table to prop up feet.

    Great suggestions! What about the wall decor and lighting?

    Any comments on light fixture or wall art?

  • 6 years ago

    What about this tv stand
    i changed the light fixture we have low ceilings any suggestions or feedback

  • 6 years ago

    Light fixture is very pretty. I like the wood artwork but it doesn't have quite enough contrast with the wall. The t.v. stand feels a bit farmhouse-y to me. Perhaps something a bit darker and more transitional. Perhaps something more like this? https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/george-oliver-garrity-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-w001424359.html

    Thanks for the suggestions. I would like a more modern farmhouse, am I on the wrong track?

    When I put in search on Wayfair...Modern Farmhouse tv console.....this is one of the consoles that came up. Similar to Katinparadise's choice.

    Very nice! Both are pretty options

  • 6 years ago

    I think having a console with legs will make the floor area look larger.


    Have you tried your art, between the windows. I like what you have, but I think the art would bring more color to the space, next to the chairs. Also would you be adding window panels (drapes) to the windows?

  • 6 years ago

    I will be adding drapes. Are you talking about the cow art?

  • 6 years ago

    I actually, could not make out what it was lol it is next to the tv on the left.

    I bring up the drapes, because they will take up wall space and make decorating that wall smaller.

  • 6 years ago

    *I meant the art is on the right of the tv

  • 6 years ago

    I think either one of those consoles could be good options.

    ittle thing but I don't 'vote' for first console that had contrasting light doors [just drew attention to tv more]. But the one with books no also. Maybe you'd like very 3 subtle vases in with...nlo need to buy new imo. Barn doors not necessary imo.

    Can I just add I think your light fixture is much too small or maybe just too simple for the space, and could be a great way to add some more pizazz to the room. because you are going with a larger console and larger art the light fixture keeps shrinking.

    I love the second light fixture best, very pretty!

  • 6 years ago

    and its not a bad pice the either... for the "flower hill" one

  • 6 years ago

    The one with great reviews has strands of clear glass and fossil stone-finish beads... nicer in person I bet. 17 x 18"

    but is it a bit dark a light? idk.

  • 6 years ago

    Has interesting mix that might match your room's mix [some elegant pattern, and some casual textures/ sofa I can't tell.... and the wood carved piece.... large enough idk.

    Made of iron with Bronze Metallic finish. 19" inches wide x 19" inches High. Requires four (4) 60-watt candelabra (E12) bulbs (not included). Includes 6" rod, etc...

  • 6 years ago

    Idk about you, but for a few projects over the years, I've taken a small saw and cut a household item. If 6" rod is a bit long, low for the room, maybe cutting 2 or 3" would be ok.....?

  • 6 years ago

    The rods need to be threaded to attach to the fixture on both ends.

  • 6 years ago

    I was thinking of adding this above the sofa but possibly with 3 frames top and bottom and a thicker mantel?

  • 6 years ago


    I can’t seem to find a tv stand either....I prefer wood color if possible similar to this one, any thoughts?

  • 6 years ago

    I would skip the mantel on the display option above the couch. I might just do the 4 prints lengthwise or what if you stacked 2 on each side of the new tv stand instead.

  • 6 years ago


    Current view! Any thoughts, not loving the wall decor on the left but lost for ideas on what to put there?

  • 6 years ago

    Going to buy a side table with lamp by the sofa and still need a coffee table possibly a round one? Any suggestions appreciated.

  • 6 years ago

    The tv console looks great, so does the three frames, much better impact than the 4. The stubby little fake tree should probably be retired and replaced with a fig, or maybe just open space. A floor lamp might be nice in this room as well. I would put that basket you have by the sofa maybe in that corner and put the end table on that end. Put a floor lamp on the other end. For a coffee table I'm thinking round or oval, maybe and ottoman with a tray since the tv isnt facing the sofa an ottoman might be nice so you can angle yourself toward it with your feet up..

  • 6 years ago

    Another thought, have you ever tried the sofa facing the tv ?

    Also What about a different, rug, perhaps even square, but either way a bit larger and maybe a little more color to it ..

  • 6 years ago

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have been looking for a dig tree and end table.

  • 6 years ago

    I think your room looks really nice! I am confused though- which console do you have now? It all looks so nice. I think the arrangement over the sofa (yes, minus the wreath) is great.
